I shot at a rabbit last week and missed. It surprised me because I was only about 10 yards away. Well I found out way today.
GAMO Big Cat 1400, cal .177
JSB Match Diabolo, Exact Beast 16 grain
Distance 25 yards
My range. This is a telephoto picture. I was shooting from a bench but the bench was not deep enough and only the stock rested on it. The buttstock was held freely.

One quick adjustment and I'm on target.

I hate it when that happens. I still haven't pulled a trigger on a pellet gun but they are having a big sale right now at pyramid air I am tempted to punch the add it to cart button. Al

16 grain, that has to be the 45-70 of .177 pellets

I was able to hit a squirrel about 15 yards away and 20 feet in the air. Because I was shooting at a very high angle I aimed an inch above center of body and the squirrel fell to the ground instantly. I've warned that squirrel about eating cherries on the tree. I threw the carcass in the brush and it was gone in the morning.
